Why do many women have such a mixed relationship with their breasts?

The female breast is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful human attributes. Most women strive for a beautiful shape, they are sad when it wears off. Many have their breasts improved by cosmetic surgery.

But then most women hide this beauty of nature, they try that not a bit too much skin is shown, and even when swimming, the beautiful breasts are forced into senseless bikini tops.

Why can women love their bodies on the one hand and hide them on the other? That makes as little sense to me as hiding a wonderful car permanently in the garage. When do women show the courage to stand by their beauty and at least leave out unnecessary textiles on the beaches?

Two reasons: 1) modesty; 2) social norms.

Even thou I am not a boob afficiando - Agree, such a waste!

I LOVE nude beaches, there aren't enough of them! But on a day to day basis I wear a bra and I don't think I should have to. I only wear one because I have big nipples and other people get offended by them. They either get offended or use my nipples as an excuse be lewd. I have natural B cups and it's better for them if you don't wear a bra. They will sag less if you don't wear one.

And I agree completely, women shouldn't be so quick to get augmentation. I respect people's choices but too often I think women do it to please a partner

Why do we cover up? Well aside from social norms mostly due to male behavior.

I like being looked at. I’m an exhibitionist - but on MY terms. If so many men didn’t lose their minds when a woman showed some boob we might do it more. I don’t need to be leered at or hit on 24/7. It’s all about time and place. The cooler men get about seeing some skin, the more likely they’re going to be to see some.

Don't know why, but Nurse Phillips just reminded me of an occasion at at party where, in a crowded room, a lovely and well endowed lass suddenly exclaimed, “He's staring at my boobs!” I immediately realized she was talking about ME and I quickly shifted my gaze!!! I think from that point on I was considerably more discrete about checking out a lady's chest.

Hell, I DO know why Nurse Phillips reminded me of that event! A great chest is a GREAT CHEST, no?

I'm always amused by women who take great care to put their boobs on display and then get offended when a guy looks. I'm not talking about the guys who take great effort to look down a girl's blouse, stare, or make crude comments. I'm referring to the women who highlight their cleavage with deep necklines, thin garments and no bra - those who dress intentionally to flaunt what they got - and the make crude comments if they catch a guy taking a quick glimpse.

Boobs are eye magnets. Guys need to be discrete and not be jerks about it - but guys are going to look.

I understand where the misunderstanding is. When a man looks at a woman's breasts, he is very often insulted as a horny peeper, but he is just happy to see something pretty. It is also no different than when I look, fascinated, at the long blond hair of a pretty girl passing by. Why does it all have to be so complicated? When I meet a naked woman in the sauna or at nudism, I naturally look at her body, but I don't stare at her.

So what is a deep cutout for if it cannot be admired (with due respect)? If bikini tops were abolished, no one would be staring at a woman in no time, but many men would admire them gratefully.

If you wear a revealing outfit a man is going to look. It’s expected and many of us are OK with looking. Looking differs from staring. Staring asserts interest, ownership and or dominance. Read a sociology text. Unless we’re interested in you, we don’t want that. In that instance a dominance display is going to provoke a fight or flight response from the woman - she’ll call you out or she’ll cover up. Either is going to cause her to be unhappy with you. Look in a way that doesn’t provoke a reaction. Don’t stare for longer that 2-3 seconds and look away. You can look back again but the same. Glance and look away.

This is basic human behavior.

Ya think so, huh? Tell you what. Go to a bar and stare heavily at a dude. Get up in his face and then tell me it didn’t provoke a fight/flight response.

Yeah it was a humorous video. I laughed. It’s not a woman thing.

Just trying to get a laugh. Didn't mean to upset anyone.
